    you could also just wrap the wire tight to the other wire, then use rubber electric tape and wrap it real tight.

    What I don't get is how to get the wire to the front? He is putting the wire in the bottom of the boot? But how to open your door? Where does the wire come from? My boot door is opening up into the air (I don't know how to better describe this)?

    • @Mixwell1983
      @Mixwell1983 Před 3 měsíci

      You have to possibly remove the felt panel from the boot lid to run the wire over to the boot hinge. Zip tie the wire to the hinge leaving some slack. Then pull the lever for your back seat rest and feed the wire from the trunk to the inside of the car and route it underneath the bottom trim panels by the door.

    • @oscarschiff9180
      @oscarschiff9180 Před 8 dny

      On most cameras there a small seperate wires located on the video feed wire. Usually if you cut one, it will hive you lines. And if you cut the other one (if there a two) it will change video resolution or output type.

      @@ace1007 I posted for an auto electrician on Airtasker. Very satisfied and good price. He had two bags full of tools. He mounted the reverse cam perfectly dead centre and discreetly under an overhang above the number plate. Ran the cam wiring to the head unit through the cable that unlocks the boot. Completely hidden. Well worth the money to have it done professionally. Do not recommend DIY.

      I've installed four (two for myself, two for others) and it really depends on the make/model of the car and how easy things are to locate, route and move. Some can be done in 30 mins, others a lot longer.

    That’s not how to solder. “Tinning” is covering the cooper wires in solder. You should never carry the solder on the soldering iron.

    • @roofermarc1
      @roofermarc1 Před 8 měsíci +1

      The soldering iron tip must be tinned. I think he meant that. You could also tin the wires and this will allow the solder to flow more freely.
